About this Book

The MAK-Collection for Occupational Health and Safety

Comprehensive, authoritative.

The nearly 3,000 publications by the Permanent Senate Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area (MAK-Commission) provide essential information on hazardous compounds at the workplace. Threshold values and classifications for more than 1,000 substances are given, along with toxicological evaluations and recommended monitoring methods. The MAK-Collection is regularly updated with new information.

Free use for everyone, everywhere.

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) supports global open access to the online editions of the complete publications of the MAK Commission in English and in German language on Wiley Online Library, including all future updates and additions.

Printed editions continue to be available for subscribers and for individual purchase. More information on how to obtain print editions can be found here: Access to the Print Collections.

The MAK-Collection combines four individual series in two languages

The online edition of the MAK-Collection includes the publications of four serial publications in two languages, English and German:

All substance-specific documents can be browsed via the substance name. Substance names include metabolites where appropriate and are grouped by series and by language.

Within each category, documents are listed in chronological order. For easier reference, series name and publication year are included in the title, e. g. Acetone [MAK Value Documentation, 1996].

Where applicable, a Substance Overview document is provided that contains a summary of important substance parameters, including toxicological classifications and threshold values set by the commission.

Publications on general topics and supporting information can be found under the headings General Information and Supplementary Information.

A versatile product search aids retrieval of the information. Substance names in English or German, including synonyms, and CAS numbers may all be used to locate articles of interest. Articles which are relevant for more than one substance include a link list to other relevant substances at the bottom of the article.

In addition to the html documents for online viewing, printable pdf documents in the same layout as in the printed editions are available for all articles.
